She also wrote about Urban Outfitters and Santorum: “Not only do they steal from artists but every time you give them money you help finance a campaign against gay equality.”

I doubt former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) worries much about Cyrus’ effect on his potential campaign, even if she does have more than a million Twitter followers. For that matter, I doubt he worries that Keira Knightley recently said she had to google his name. (And he shouldn’t — I know firsthand several high school senior girls who don’t know who Joe Biden is. Not that that’s excusable.)

But I had to pipe up about this because, when I read her comments, I couldn’t help but think, “Right. And every time you give Miley Cyrus money you help finance a girl who clearly doesn’t understand the value of the world she’s been given.” She’s a Southern-bred gal who grew up with an essentially intact family. She should know better than to be less than gracious. And Santorum is a stand-up guy who has always been solidly in support of family values — who suddenly seems pretty cool to me.

Cyrus isn’t a fan of Urban Outfitters after stories emerged alleging that the store has copied jewelry designs, so she pointed out that the company’s president had contributed to Santorum.
============

Miley sounds like a few years down the line she’s going to answer the question few if any people were asking: What would Lindsey Lohan be like is she was into liberal Hollywood politics as much as booze and drugs?

“Not only do they steal from artists but every time you give them money you help finance a campaign against gay equality.”

Oh Sweet Nibblets, only 19 and she’s into that artist are special people mentality. She really does think she’s above the rest of us. Remember talking my niece to see her movie a few years ago. The majority of her fans were about eight. Don’t think those votes will be swinging the next election.

Wow. I guess if you know somebody’s name (e.g. Miley Cyrus or any other public person), they can’t have an opinion but the self-inflated blogger can trash them all they want, from the bully Internet pulpit.

Hey, she’s a person. She has an opinion. And as entitled to it as you are to yours.

“Gay equality”? Are there any teenagers out there who know anything about anything useful?

Gays are not heteros, they choose their lifestyle. If you want marriage and children, I guess you have to quash your gay urges. We all have to make sacrifices.

Oh, they may not choose to be gay per se, but this is America, and they do choose their lifestyles.

I refuse to believe that most gays want to marry. Many of them just want to try to piss on it for people who see marriage as a man-woman thing – you know, the way evolution intended.

And before any liberals here jump down my throat, I bear no animosity towards gays. Some of my best ex-friends are gay (and they were the ones who didn’t want anything to do with me when I became conservative). I still think they have a right to live their lives and have civil unions if they choose to make a legal commitment to another person. That will have to be enough.

Everybody in this situation is wrong. Rick Santorum is wrong for his weird comment about gay marriage. Miley Cyrus is wrong for going after Urban Outfitters just because they gave money to his campaign like a million other people have done. And Tina Korbe is wrong for attacking Miley Cyrus as some ungrateful hillbilly.

Bigger story here is that the president of Urban Outfitters, Mecca to hipster douchebags and scene-kids everywhere, donated to Santorum. I never would have guessed, or at least I would have assumed that he’d avoid activities that would potentially alienate the O-bot horde that constitutes his client base.

You’re up the the blue NE. It colors your perspective. If marriages are broken, that doesn’t mean the institution is. It means people are not aware of its importance, and the consequences to society when it is not taken seriously.

And you can go P!ss off jacka@@! Yeah she has an opinion and yeah, she’s entitled to it. She also has a far more reaching audience than we “self-inflated” bloggers do. So if you don’t like our opinions, you are free to depart. Moron.

Well she’s obviously trying to transition from pre-teen heroine and Disney megastar into an MTV/Hollywood starlet, so this is entirely predictable. It’s a time-honored formula, and they always follow it so precisely that I honestly wonder if it’s written down in a manual somewhere.

Step #1: Drop wholesome TV persona and cultivate slutty stage image.

Step #2: Get “accidentally” filmed/photographed engaging in some illicit activity or other.

Step #3: Have vicious and very public falling-out with family, resulting in fierce competition to find out who can most severely humiliate themselves in the public eye in the shortest time.

Wow. I guess if you know somebody’s name (e.g. Miley Cyrus or any other public person), they can’t have an opinion but the self-inflated blogger can trash them all they want, from the bully Internet pulpit.

Hey, she’s a person. She has an opinion. And as entitled to it as you are to yours.

Deal with it.

Wow. If you deliberately make your opinion public, you can be called on it — especially if it is unfounded and ridiculous from the start.

I think it all to often, inevitable. And really, who cares? Let them wallow in their indulgences.

I’m with you. Whether or not Cylly Mirus upends herself is of little concern to me. It amazes me, though, how many so-called thinkers around here want to jump to the defense of someone who has done nothing but sing a song or three and tweet their important selves into a self-inflated balloon of importance.

And Santorum is a stand-up guy who has always been solidly in support of family values — who suddenly seems pretty cool to me.

Santorum is a hateful creep who has gone beyond the pale and compared gay people with people who have sex with animals. He lost big in his last election (60% to 40%) for that reason. And as much as the GOP tolerates him, they give people reason to vote for the Democrats.
The GOP toleration of homophobic insanity is a major reason why the Democratic Party’s crazy socialism is viable in elections.

Yet I think of the four decade slow-motion train wreck called Michael Jackson where since he hardly could barely hold a microphone was singing “Oooh, baby, give me one more chance” totally oblivious to what “another chance” was. Same fate for Judy Garland and similar never blessed to know what just being a kid was like.

This is where you all will separate ways with true Conservatives. Supporting “totally” to the gay movement and all your objectives is a requirement for you all. Anyone not toeing the line is refuse. Count me in the refuse.

One word. RINOs. Progressive Republicans that so blurred the lines between Donks and Republicans, it didn’t matter who you voted for. But nice try pushing your agenda and acting like you cared about Conservative issues at the same time.

Santorum is a good man.

hawkdriver on May 27, 2011 at 11:30 PM

No, hawkdriver, Santorum is not a good man. It’s not that he opposed gay marriage. That’s a matter of legitimate debate. It’s that he vilified gays as less than human. His views are essentially those of the Nazis. His views are completely contemptible at that level.

I oppose imposing gay marriage by judicial fiat. I hold it must be done by the legislature. The official gay rights movement considers me as much as nutjob as they consider you. But there is a difference between opposing gay marriage and opposing gay people. Santorum opposes gay people.

Not only “is” Santorum a good man he, like many, many have been destroyed for not giving in to the movement; the mere premise.

“Gay” views on this very site if you oppose gay marriage while even expressing support for civil unions will win you a badge of bigot, homophobe, racist and “morally bankrupt”. I have been called all these things.

I see the gay movement as something more akin to the Nazi’s behavior.

hawkdriver on May 27, 2011 at 11:48 PM

Well, that is certainly a precious interpretation of history. Gays were just about the first victim of the Nazis.

By the way, I’m not sure which conservative here on Hotair is that strident on the issue of gay marriage versus gay unions. There some leftists like Ernesto who post frequently on gay topics. You shouldn’t care what they say about you. They are just here so we don’t talk to just ourselves. I have told Ernesto to stop helping me and other gay conservatives on gay issues. Needless to say, Ernesto doesn’t listen to me. I’m not even sure that I really want him to listen to me, because leftist flakes should be leftist flakes.

The homosexuality of Röhm and other SA leaders was made public to add “shock value”[16] even though the sexuality of Röhm and other named SA leaders had actually been known by Hitler and other Nazi leaders for years.[16]

Your “logic” is as bad as Santorum’s. Two seconds of googling would get you you to the Night of the Long Knives and why your argument makes no sense:
